Surprise Headbutts for Self Defense from the Clinch and Long Range

In the context of self defense, headbutts are best used as a surprise attack to gain the advantage in a transitional period. If we were talking lethwei, the strategy would vary based on the situation or practitioner’s style… but for self defense the headbutt is a pretty straightforward thing… literally. Oh… sorry about the clickbait thumbnail… it was just too funny not to use.

Question for Viewers: Any headbutt related video topics you would like to see? P.S. Sorry about the clickbait thumbnail it was just too funny not to use.

Sub Exploration says:

I thought you had photoshoped the thumbnail until I watched the end 😂

Hard to hurt… Unless it's self-inflicted 🤣👍

The Kempo Academy says:

Lol opening pic that popped up is awesome lol

Mint Tony says:

"We're not doing this:"
smooth music
smooth head dance

Ja Wiem says:

Imagine you`re going to his gym for the first time ever to learn self defence and you see that 4:40

Blood, Sweat, and Beers says:

No one:

hard2hurt: yeet

Brenhin Alimpic says:

😂 Love it

erik lee says:

Yo, Beevus and Headbutt, my question is, could it be a viable technique to keep your hands low try to draw the guy into a super committed punch, duck into it at the last moment and head butt their hand? Saw it in a movie and thought that was the coolest move I never thought of.

84NZ41 says:

That face dive thumbnail tho. I really appreciate the work that went into that one for sure lol. 🤩
You should make crazy thumbs like this on a regular and show a few seconds of what it took to make 'em. I'm probably not the only one who would enjoy the shit out of that. This made my fuckin day! 🤣Thanks!

James Roush says:

Mike, do you genuinely be,I've that strengthening your neck helps you not get KOd? I've hard tons of people say it helps, and tons of people say it does nothing

Sean Hanna says:

Getting that thumbnail. The last time I laughed that much, you'd just shot your missus in the head with a pepper ball. Yeah, it wasn't that long ago. I'm easily amused.

Omnicron says:

Imagine driving by just to see some guy trying to do flying headbutts.

ZZZ says:

this is the most icy mike core video yet

Lefteris Phil says:

this is bullshit, in a real fight, always headbutt to the body

Jeff Kitt says:

5:25 I watched 50x, I'm still roaring.

RAWSNL says:

What about the use of ones butt in a fight? Buttbutts!

Kelspeth says:

Would like to see a video of neck exercises.
Peace Frosty-mike.

Joseph Dewey says:

I thought that epic thumbnail was photoshopped until I saw the end.

Ouch. That hurts.

Harrison Kim says:

That is the greatest thumbnail ever

enoughofyourkoicarp says:

So what if I wear my underpants on the outside and fly around the world a few times first, do you think that would be more effective or would the other guy just go for coffee while he's waiting and not bother coming back?

Nich Adams says:

If you throw a headbut at range and claim self defense you're probably still going to get charged for assault.

John Santos says:

There’s a 1/10 chance that this move will miss fire and you’ll go flying and get lifted off the ground.

Lunesta says:

The thumbnail is a work of art

varškėsapkepas says:

The diving headbutt should be performed while doing a salute.

Justin Heckel says:

For straight self-defense stuff, Lee Morrison has some of the best stuff and incorporates headbutts and incidental hits. But his stuff is very realistic and vicious. Would love to see you guys be able to collaborate at some point if he is over in the US sometime.
